And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A torpedo level is for close in work, not long boards. Still, one could run a taut string to gauge a crooked board.
Stupifying silly, I've seen 'professional' carpenters use a torpedo to, say check plumb on a 6x6" 16' post. Masons are famous for that degree of precision.
torpedoes are good for quick estimations or lengths of pipe but certainly not for large scale construction. in essence you're only leveling/plumbing the size of the level anyhow.
Works good on straight wood but not so good on the warped and twisted green wood they sell now.

the one for conduit work is more versatile. Johnson makes a good one (got one on our refrigerator door presently) as does Klein.
